Why can't it?

Won't this work:

1) Set up the two contacts like this: (NOTE The "options")....

#WARNINGS ONLY CONTACT...
define contact{
        contact_name                    warning_contact
        alias                           WARNINGS Only Contact
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    w,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email,notify-by-epager
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email, 
host-notify-by-epager
        email                           warning_recipient at someplace.com
        pager                           warning_pager at someplace.com
        }



#CRITICAL ONLY CONTACT...
define contact{
        contact_name                    critical_contact
        alias                           CRITICAL Only Contact
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    c,r
        host_notification_options       d,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email,notify-by-epager
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email, 
host-notify-by-epager
        email                           critical_recipient at someplace.com
        pager                           critical_pager at someplace.com
        }

2)  Create a contactgroup that  has BOTH of these contacts in it.
define contactgroup{
        contactgroup_name       unix-admins
        alias                   Unix Administrators
        members                 warning_contact,crictical_contact
        }

3)  Associate the new contact group "unix-admins" with the services in 
question.

It seems to work for us.
